You have been subscribed to a public bug: I was testing kernel 3.5.0-6.6: http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/223/builds/19371/testcases/1306/results. I have nouveau drivers installed and I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics card. I had 1440x900 resolution when I just booted to the 3.5.0-6.6 kernel. I tried changing various resolutions and they all worked, but when I tried to get back to 1440x900 I got a black screen. Could not do anything. I had to reboot pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, not even CTRL+ALT+F1 displayed anything on my video. After rebooting into 3.5.0-6.6 kernel I got resolution 1366x768, the last one chosen, I tried to change to 1440x900 again and I got a black screen again, couldn't do anything but reboot. This time I rebooted into 3.2.0-26 kernel and found resolution 1440x900 without having to change it. I rebooted again into kernel 3.5.0-6.6 and the resolution was 1440x900. If I change resolution and try to go back to 1440x900 on kernel 3.5.0-6.6 I get a black screen and can't do anything.
